The biggest diamond in over a century is found in Botswana -- a whopping 2,492 carats

The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country’s president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world at a viewing ceremony Thursday.

The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It’s the biggest diamond found since 1905.

  • Someone once described diamonds as nothing but space poop & it’s all I think about when I see ppl w diamond jewelry 😂💍💩☄️

  • Nice precious rock the Botswanans found! I'm sure it would be preserved as it is, or if it's sold, that it would greatly benifit Botswana's economy
